Advertissements

While Brown Dog finalized the Mapdownloader for Windows version 2015.03, stabilized a new content.info and released a new Sygic.apk, we can't afford to sit still and have another beer.
So for all you Master Wayfarers, Sundaydrivers, Wayside Surfers and Road-hogs, here is version 0.96 of the Sygic Mapdownloader for Linux.
(this version obsoletes Mapdownloader versions 0.95x)

New
Release 2015.03 for TomTom maps is now stable and via the basemaps you will get an improved content.info file.
Added "traffic=yes"
(thanks, Brown Dog)

Changes
The Mapdownloader for Linux has been reworked to simplify its usage.
You can set the desired maptype and release inside the script at (around) line 50, and that is all there is to it:

Please bear in mind that HERE maps 2014.09 are only available for Europe, North America, Middle East, and some African countries like Egypt, Lesotho, Swaziland and South Africa.
If you get an answer like:

Downloadsize of map Angola is
0.0000 bytes
Do you want to download the map of Angola? y/n

... it means there is NO HERE map for Angola.

HERE maps version 2014.12 are only available for North America.

Corrections
To level with the "Windows Mapdownloader" the names of maptypes have been changed
NavTeq => HERE, Tele Atlas => TomTom

Support
When the scriptactions have unexpected outcome, please inspect the logging in /tmp/sygic-log.log to locate the problem.
If the logging output still leaves you in the dark, plz drop us a line at the GPSPower.net forum, section "Sygic Software and Tools".

This very typical statuscode will also be logged in the webserver logging, thus giving away you are using a downloadscript.
To avoid this, the downloadscript now first checks if a directory Sygic exists.
If so, the directory and all its content will be moved to /tmp, then normal actions will be enrolled.
